"Picture yourself on your deathbed...How many of us are going to say to ourselves, Fuck it I should have spent less time riding and more in the office? " http://youtu.be/LRQyEBY5YjQ

carry a spare wheel on your back whenever you go anywhere, problem solved. preferably the rear as that tends to go more often.

Tommy next time instead of waisting a pack of zip ties use tie down straps, changing a tire the first time is hard for anyone but everyone should learn and own some tire irons. A trick to doing tubed tires is to start 180 from the valve and finnish at the valve,this way you can push the tube into the tire and not pinch it, never push the tire irons all the way down to the rim center so you dont pinch the tube. The first few times anyone I have ever tought how to do it struggled but after a few times it get easier.I have a tire machine at my disposal but it dosent do me any good when I am 200 miles from home.

Thanks for that and thanks for the welcome

This should be in the workshop section. No oily bits bits or overalls are allowed in the bar. It won't come off the seats.

Sounds like the needle jet, float height or floats in the carb. If the jet is worn then it lets fuel bypass it, it the float height is wrong then it shuts the fuel off too late, if the float has a hole in it - the same as the float height issue really. The heat won't help but the carb needs to be set up right, not just cleaned. Welcome to the forum.

Hi Tim, does your bike have rear brake shoes rather than pads? If so then you can improve the braking by shamfering off the leading edge of the shoe with a file, you could replace the front forks with ones off of a newer bike that has twin discs, not that expensive and will really make an improvement to the handling. Or you could drive SLOWER !!!! I suppose but where is the fun in that?

As above mate, stuck needle - float to low or float bowl seal is in need of replacing. PS the intro should be in the NEW MEMBERS section (hint)

Bad dose of the DTs? Er, with apologies to DT!

Just smear some washing up liquid on the tyre bead first and should pop back on the rim a treat.

just go on the bay and put a search in for your type of fitting slice. . usualy if you enter price and post cheapest leds are up at the top. those from china are hit and miss , you get good ones and you also get duff ones, 99p go on have a punt.

Foamy for president!

Always nice to know that there is never a shortage of organ donors for the sensible people. There's fast and smart there's fast and stupid, then this guy who sits in the wants to be THE GHOSTRIDER category.

Just a matter of time,,,

Lemon juice and water boil in a saucepan for carbs. White vinegar for fuel tanks. When you ride it does give you a craving for a doner kebab and chips - but that isn't a bad thing!
